Plan To Attend Free St. Louis Grassroots Workshop!

Friday, February 9, 2007

The NRA-ILA Grassroots Division will host its FREE Grassroots Workshop in conjunction with NRA’s Annual Meetings in St. Louis.  With the United States Congress under new leadership, we must once again redouble our efforts to beat back attempts by the anti-gunners to further erode the Second Amendment.  Similarly, both in Congress and in the states, we must ensure we are well positioned to take advantage of any and all opportunities to strengthen our firearm freedoms.

Your attendance at this year’s Grassroots Workshop in St. Louis is a critical first step toward ensuring the future of our gun rights.  This Workshop has been a staple of NRA’s Annual Meetings for more than a decade. It is one of the most popular events of the week, attended by hundreds of freedom-loving NRA members.

At this FREE Workshop, we will discuss how you can take on an even more active role in your community in our mutual fight to advance and protect our cherished freedoms. We will provide you with the materials and strategies you will need to educate and empower your fellow gun owners as well. The Workshop will feature several guest speakers, including NRA officers and NRA-ILA staff.

With your support and attendance at the Workshop, you'll help ensure that NRA members and gun owners from across the nation are actively in engaged in the battle to protect the Second Amendment. Please encourage your family, friends and fellow firearm owners to attend as well!
